Whatever corporation/nation builds the first space elevator...this would reduce the cost of going to space exponentially and make bringing massive amounts of resources into space needed for making a permanent colony quite cheap...although what nation provides the funds to make that happen...anyone's guess

Well a Dutch company is already in the process of preparing a research colony for the surface of Mars, so we'll see small-scale human space colonization in our lifetime. Unless you're not going to live another decade, in which case, RIP.

IC Info: TL;DR verson of Nekronia: Authoritarian government with elements of the USSR and national socialism. Everyone works for the government, and buys from the government, obsoleting taxes as the money does not leave the country, save for government buying of items of foreign nations. Military is advanced but unconventional, focusing on infantry and psychological warfare. Primary method of national income is export of armaments and other war-related items.

Brazil? That's an unusual choice. Will there be no more room left in Brazil with their large asses?
